Upani in Diani

We had a terrible journey from the train station in a cramped minibus, which took 6 hours, obviously not the hotels fault, but when we finally arrived we were pretty dissapointed in our acconodation. Our room was booked by a friend, we were told we would have a honeymoon suite, instead we had a very basic room which was damp, with 2 mattresses unevenly pushed together in a room full of mosquitos. As we hadn't made the booking ourselves we were unaware of no bar or restaurant. But really there isnt much close by either, so more self catering accommodation, with no shop nearby to buy supplies. The staff were friendly and helpful, and pointed us in the direction of a very nice hotel that had an open restaurant and bar. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights, but after a sleepless night where we got eaten alive we moved to the hotel on the beach which was only a little more expensive for vastly superior accommodation.

Staff is wonderful. So are the apartments and the pool area. A small paradise tucked away behind Diani beach road. Staff arranged for us to barbecue and also had a great chef cooking all other meals. We loved it.
